Jutnes Lick, Isaac Kited, and the Quaker Hopkins, deal in millions ! Now, in cood earnest, we ask, Why will not some noble-hearted lover of youth and knowledge donate a •halfmillion for endowing Oahu College? For the present we would be content with the tenth of a million; just a good round one hundred thousand is what the trustees ment relating to cent endowments of Oahu College now need, to place that institution on a good basis. We want on endowment of $30,000 each for three professorships, viz.: one for the Ancient Languages ; one for Modern Languages (including Polynesian); and one for Natural Sciences. The Hawaiian Government, the American Board, and a few friends of the College have laid a good foundation. Now we want new buildings and new apparatus ; only give us the money and, in the name of the trustees, we pledge our word and our sacred honor to dispose of the same in the manner that future generations will rise up and bless the donors.

You need not wait until you make your wills, but, following the example of James Lick of San Francisco, would do well to pass over a generous donation, and see that it is properly expended, before you pass ' the bourn whence no traveler returns.'" Death of Captain Abbaham Russell.—Another link between tho piiat and tbe present of Hawaii nei was severed on Tuesday last, by the death, at lolani Palaeo, of " Admiral Kussell," as he has been familiarly called for many years past. Capt. Russell was born at Kussell Mills, in the town of Dartmouth, near New Bedford, Mass., in the year 1807, according to his own statement, although in tbe judgment of many he was older. He came of a well-known and respectably connected family, of tbe Society of Friends. Choosing Ihe whaling business as a profession, he first visited these islands in 1827. Subsequently he was here in command successively of the barks Bremen and Bartholomew Gosnold of New Bedford. While in the latter vessel, through some kind offices rendered to the chiefs of these islands, they became much attached to him, and Nahienaena, sister of Kamehameha HI. adopted him, after the native fashion, as her child, and when dying she strictly charged her brother and the high chiefs to This trust recognize tho relationship thus created. has been handed down and faithfully observed by succeeding kings, who hare always been solicitous for the coin/ort and welfare of Aberahama," and " and a home. with them he always found a welcome Recently, by command of His present Majesty, a neat cottage had been erected in the Palace enclosure as a residence for Capt. Kussell, where doubtless he expected to spend his declining days in quiet and comfort. His last active service at sea was some ten years ago, but he may be considered to have been a permanent resident here since the loss of the bark Drymo, of Sippican, at Labaina, of which he was Ist officer, in IH4.Y lie had a son who was killed in battle on the Union side during the late war, and we believe he has a daughter living in New Bedford. His funeral took place from bis late residence in the Palace grounds on Wednesday last, and was largely attended. Their Majesties tbe King and Queen and the members of the Royal Family and of the Court attended tho services at the house, which were conducted by Rev. Dr. Damon, and the King's carriage led the procession to tbe grave in Nuuanu Cemetery, immediate after tho hearse.—P. C. Advertiser, March 21th. 25 {•ft Smts,o«l. 32. The person who borrowed of the editor the London Geographical Magazine for December, 1874, will please return the same, as its loss will break the regular file, which are preserved for binding. Restful Music.—The highest compliment which we have heard paid to the late musical entertainment of Philip Phillips, was that of a German eminent in musical circles, who remarked that " Philip Phillips' singing was the most restful he ever heard." There ia a chord in the human soul that restful music touches. Under its influence the soul feels refreshed. Our church choirs should sing more in this style. The Sabbath is a day of sacred rest; now our music should be in harmony with the day, then will the Sabbath become more and more a foretaste of the rest." There remain" Saints' everlasting eth therefore a rest to the people of God." " A New Scientific Association.—Just as our paper was going to press, we learned with much delightthat a microscopical association was about being organized. A subscription list, headed by His Majesty with $50, and followed by others equally generous, is now circulating. It in proposed to procure a microscope of high power." This is a movement in the right direction. Dr. Harkness, now visiting the islands, is member of a similar association in San Francisco, where great attention is paid to experimenting with the microscope. The lectures of Dr. Wythe, on this subject, at the Lyceum about one year ago, will not soon be forgotten. More hereafter. " " The Islander."—We gladly welcome this little weekly, and are confident if well managed it will succeed. Among newspapers we recognize the same law as Darwin has enunciated in regard to animals, " Survival of the Fittest."

There are thiqlkg men in the United States, who advocate the establishment of a National University. In the mean time, schools and colleges for the education ofboth sexes are being endowed most munificently, while all the older colleges are receiving large additions to their funds. Recently a Mr. Hopkins, a Quaker, died in Baltimore, who founded a large hospital and also appropriated by his last will the sum of three and a half millions of dollars for educational purposes. This fund has been entrusted to a Board of Trustees, who are allowed a wide margin in the use of its income. It has been decided to devote the same to the higher purposes of an University Education. President Oilman, of the University of California, has been invited to preside over this institution in its organization and advancement. This subject of a higher grade of education, is now attracting much attention. At a meeting of College graduates, recently held in St. Paul's, Minnesota, S. C. Gale, Esq., a graduate of Vale College, delivered an address, from which we quote as follows, it having been published in St. Paul's Daily Press of January 20th : " Mr. President—l think all the schools of learning in this country are entering upon a new and promising era. And I think I see the dawn of the day when the American university will furnish an education so supremely excellent, so valid, so necessary, so cheap, that hardly one aspiring man or woman will fail to make use of it. the university must have " First ofof all, abundance money. It is likely to receive it. The colossal private fortunes of this age and country sre being appropriated as never before. One wise rich man has at last discovered that there is a more excellent way of disposing of his wealth than dissipating it through his sons, spoiling them in the process. The great acts of private munificence within a few years are astonishing; and they are chiefly in aid of secular institutions of learning for the people. Not many months ago James Lick, of California, 76 years old, a nomadic unlettered frontiersman, but a king, as his acts proved, lest his heirs and their lawyers might defeat his noble scheme if trusted to a will, brought out his strong box one day and poured into the lap of the people of that State twenty hundred thousand dollars, all he had, saying, " This k my everlasting legacy to you, that you may be lifted up from the ground into light, comfort and culture." Does James Lick need a monument? I tell you the gray, cloudcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada will sooner melt out of sight than this old man with his benefactions be forgotten ! And so all over the country, by the princely gifts of rich men, new colleges and special schools of science and art are being founded. See something of what has been done in the single State of Massachusetts. Five years ago Isaac Ritch—how these homely, two- APRIL, 1875. worded names shine!—paid over in money found the Boston University §2,000,000 ; and that institution is now as prosperous as its policy is broad and liberal. The Smith College for girls at Northampton, with a half million of dollars behind it, donated by a woman, with structures and grounds of marvelous perfection, will open its door for the first time during the coming season. Then there is the Durant Female College at Weilesley, near Boston, having attached to it a magnificent domain of 300 acres in lake, woods and park, with a building, finished within a month, said to lie the most elegant and perfect for its purpose on the continent. Next September, 300 girls will be invited to occupy it, nnd they will each pay a total expense for board and tuition of $250 per annum. Ten years ngo, Nathan Vassar founded the college, called niter him, nt Poughkeepsie, N. Y„ where now 400 girls are pursuing a curriculum of studies not much inferior to that of the oldest and best colleges of the land. Within six years Ezra Cornell has given eight hundred thousand dollars to endow Cornell University, nt Ithica. To this bounty the Slate has added as much more. Already this University is among the foremost in the country; and its promise for the future, in my opinion, equals if it does not exceed them nil. Four weeks ago Ezra Cornell died and was buried. I hope they will inscribe on his tomb simply his own memorable words, "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.'* The old colleges, moreover, from the same sources, have been enriched nnd widened more within fifteen years than in the fifty years preceding, and chiefly in the direction of science and art. Will this stream of munificence continue? I think it will widen and deepen as time goes on. " Here, at length, is the method by which the broader common sense of the people will perpetually be felt in fixing the character of the university. Nine-tenths of the men who make these gifts have not been trnined in the old schools of learning, and I am triad of it." to Rev. Mr. Cameron. By the last Australian steamer came Mr. Cameron, a missionary, who was sent to India, underthe auspices of the missionary society of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. He had labored in the vicinity of Bombay until by the sod effects of a sun-stroke, he was compelled to relinquish his post, and for the benefit of his health, visited the colony of Victoria. Partially restored, he is now going on a visit to Canada, the early home of Mrs. Cameron. On their route thither will visit Detroit, Michigan, where Mrs. C. has two sisters. Mr. C. furnished us with files of Bombay papers. The following appeared in one of the colonial papers, published at Ueelong, Victoria, where the subject of the prohibition of intoxicating liquors was under discussion: The Rev. C. I. Cameron in seconding the"resolution remarked that he had himself been a total abstainer for 23 years, and intended to continue so for the remainder ofi his life. (Applause.) In India, where be had labored, there were 200,000,000 of human beings, ofwhom 10,000 were annually destroyed by furious animals which inhabited the jungles. The Hindoos, averse tc shedding of blood of any kind, regarded the sacrifice with indifference, but ihe BritisL Government interposed and offered a reward of 300 rupees for every tiger killed. Now, notwithstanding all that Brahmins and Hindoos might say to the contrary, he though) they would all agree that the destruction of these animals was a humane and proper object. Yet, here there were no wild beasts, but an nrmy of demons tolerated that annually sacrificed not only thousands of lives, but all that was noble, pure and worthy U being guarded by the community. Strong drink produced nine-tenths of the pauperism, three-fourths of the crime, one-half of the disease, one-third of the suicides, threefourths of the juvenile depravity, and onefifth of the shipwrecks by which the world' was nfilicted, and he thought it was therefore the duty of the Government to endeavor to curtail its ravages The continuance of the evil could not be defended on the score of sound political economy, and he related the anecdote uf the Roman matron, who when asked to exhibit her jewels, introduced her visitor to her nursery, and pointing to her children declared they were her treasures, as as nn incident that speakingly proved that there were other things besides money that constituted the wealth of nations. (Cheers.) The wealth, of the colony was its boys ant girls, and men and women, and whatever injured them physically or intellectually waann injury to the vital interests of the commonwealth. (Loud applause.)" P. O. Stamps.—The son of a Congregationalist professor at Washington is an enthusiastic collector of postage stamps. During the last year he received from the Sandwich Islands a gilt of nine stamps, three sets of three stamps each of the earliest emissions of that missionary isle. Improving his own collection by the addition of one set. hi wrote lo a dealer in such articles in New York, offering a second set for sale, and th« dealer sent him ten dollars for each stamps or thirty dollars for the set. Encouraged by this success, he wrote to another denier it England, offering the third set for sale, anil the English dealer wrote back offering twenty-five dollars for each stamp, or seven ty-hve dollars for the set. The offer was accepted, and the bill of exchange then sold for ten per cent, premium. The six little stamps therefore realized one hundred and twelve dollars to the young collector. We chronicle the experience with fear and trembling, lest it feed with new fuel a fever, which happily is just now running low. New Year's Customs at Washington.— A correspondent in Washington thus writes. Year's Day I noticed that in most "ofOntheNew houses, nothing stronger than Beef Tea, or Bouillon, was served, and that was furnished in tea cups. I made twenty-seres: calls, includiag all the Cabinet Officers, and only once was asked to take wine !" �THE FRIEND, APRIL, Religious Awakening in England. A century has elapsed since the great awakening in England, under the preaching »f Wesley and Whitfield. Thoughtful his•vorians do not hesitate to attribute to that movement the salvation of England from the flighting influence of deism nnd infidelity. It is now an acknowledged fact by sound .churchmen of the church of England, tlmt it was a great mistake to turn away from 'Wesley and to have driven him into the n Selds and burns. Ineffectual efforts have since been made to win back the millions of Wesleyans thus forever alienated from the established church, but not from the church • Christ. Another wave of religious awnkening is of low passing over the united kingdom Ireland nnd England. The American Evangelists have been cordially welcomed to Scotland and Ireland by the united sentiment of all evangelical communions, ft is a source of much rejoicing that an oqually cordial sentiment pervades the religious community of England, including .many of the clergymen of the r-stablished •hurch. Messrs. Moody and Sankey have visited London, after laboring in the northern cities of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham. A preliminary meeting, consisting of nearly one hundred ministers ■it various religious communions, was held »n Monday, January 25th, at the Beaumont Institution, with a view to furthering the objects contemplated by the intended visit of Messrs. Moody and Sankey to the city of jf 27 187 5. Christians have been revived, refreshed, and stimulated to new consecration and service ; and very many, both old and young, who before were strangers to Saving Grace, have professed their acceptance of Christ as their Snviournnd joined themselves to His people. Messrs. Moody and Sankey have agreed lo spend in London the four months above named, and it is hoped that they will be assisted in the work by men of known Evangelistic gifts, who have been invited, not only from other parts of our own land, but also from America. The Committee of the Central Noon Prayer Meeting, representing all denominations, has secured, with the approval of Mr. Moody, the Agricultural Hall, Islington, for ten weeks, from 28th February to 9th May. Exeter Hall has been taken for the Central Noon Prayer Meeting. Other large halls arc being sought for ; some have been already offered ; and it may be needful to erect temporary structures in one or two localities in which buildings nf sufficient dimensions cannot be obtained. To provide for the large necessary expenditure, it is proposed to raise a fund, to be paid into the hands of Messrs. Fuller, Banbury Ac Co., Bankers, 77 Lombard street, to Day Prayer Meeting Account;" and "weNoon are sure that all Christians, who have the means, will value the privilege of contributing to carry on a work which, we cannot but hope, will prove one of unpreced- Dalzell, a talented and enterprising missionary physician, was sent out to select a suitable place nnd commence operations.

APRIL. 1, 18T6. Isthe Newspaper a Correct Mirror of Social Life? In reading the seventh edition of a volume of sermons by Alexander Raleigh, D.D., published in Edinburgh, Scotland, we met with the following paragraph : "The much-vaunted publicity which everything gets by the press, is in a large part the publicity of the evil and dark side of our social life. It is the publicity of amusements and follies, and immoralities and vices, and crimes. Read the daily journals Irom the beginning of the year to the end of it, you will find but little of the nobleness of human nature and human life in the things recorded and commented upon." Finding this remark in a sermon, it suggests the idea that, as our printer is calling for copy, we will moralize or sermonize upon the shortcomings of newspapers, (not imagining for a moment that our little " 7x9 monthly sheet will be reckoned among the " journals aspiring to mirror forth the social life of the passing age, or daguerreotype the passing daily life of the world). We think there is too much of truth in the paragraph we have quoted. We should be sorry to think society was as corrupt and vicious as represented in the daily press of the cities of San Francisco, New York, London, or Sydney. Papers from those cities are constantly passing under our inspection, and really they appear to be nearly filled up with reports of the police courts, criminal trials and scandal investigations. Reporters seem to vie with each other to publish some startling murder scene or detail with disgust- APRIL, 1875. periodicals. "No editor should allow his pen to record language which he would not utter with his lips." An editor should remember that he is a gentleman, or ought to be. His paper ought never to become the vehicle of ungentlemanly language, not even over the signature of an anonymous writer. We had proceeded thus far in our moralizing, when our eye glanced upon the following paragraph in the last number of the Islander : "As well might a clergyman preach what he does not believe to please his audience and for the sake of his salary as a journalist act in the same way to his readers from financial considerations. We further hold that while it may be unnecessary to the world's progress, that any particular journal should continue, it is necessary that whatever is spoken or published should be honest and manly." Now we do not think the conductors of our island weeklies are lacking honesty and manliness in giving expression to their ideas. Far from it. We think in some respects they are very high-toned and honorable, but this is wherein we complain of them, they find fault with each other in small matters the dotting of an " i " or the omission of an o." Now while it is well for us to mind our"p's"and "q's"—yet we do not think it of sufficient importance to make a manifest error of proof-reading, the subject for an editorial. The editor or editors of the Islander appear to have entered upon their labors with a high ideal, hence we may all — " numerous and more expensive buildings than the Shinto Shrines, and they are kept in good order. I believe, entirely by free-will offerings. Within two miles of us, there is a Btidhist monastery, where some twenty or thirty young men are preparing for their ministry. I believe they are partly supported by then own labor; partly by offerings of the people. Provision for the Budhist ministry seems not to be very liberal, as I know of two, said to be priests, and are now domestics in private families. One of them attends family worship, in which the Scriptures are read and expounded. I have seen men on the streets who appeared to be praying as they walked. But the most touchingsight I saw was a poor woman in front of a temple, stooping over a small stone image with a child, probably two or three years old, very close to her, and whom she seemed to be teaching to worship it, as she appeared to be doing. Oh! thought I, if Christian mothers were generally as zealous to teach their little ones to love and worship the blessed Savior as this poor heathen seemed to be, teaching her child to worship an image—how soon the world would be converted! It is said, a triumphant Christian death at Yokohama recently, made a very deep impression 'on some natives who witnessed it; and that one of Mrs. Puryn's pupils had been, through the Spirit, the happy agent of converting several, including her parents I believe. At the various stations and outstations of the Board, the work seems to be deepening and widening. Mr. Nisima is said to have produced quite an awakening in his native place. Imamura, who accompanied my son lo the Islands, seems to be a growing Christian. And it is said, gives very satisfactory addresses. My son, his wife and sister, went to Sanaa, 18 miles distant. He preached on the Lord's day and left the ladies there throughout the week. They were busy from morning till night in teaching the females who came in small numbers, or whom, by invitation, they visited at their own homes. In the evening, both sexes assembled, and parts of the New Testament were read and remarked upon, first by the natives and then by the missionaries. It is said that females there show more interest in religious institutions than at any other station. As an instance of the change coming over this people, take the following: About a year ago, at one of the hospitals at which Dr. Berry was invited by native doctors to practice and give instruction, he consented to do so, only on the condition that the Bible should be read and explained as a part of his labors. When they heard this, half of those who invited him, objected and withdrew ; they, however, subsequently returned, and now the number is increased to about 200. And recently in drawing up rules for their guidance, he fearing to offend some of them, should he first refer to the Bible, put down several items, and then alluded to the Bible. When reading his paper to them, and came to the Bible, they said, that should have been first, as it was the proper foundation hope to be benefited by their example, although old veterans of the editorial quill naturally think of the saying of the King of Israel—" Let not him that girdeth on the haring minuteness some miserable affair that ness boast himself, as he that putteth it off." ought never to be heard of beyond the immediate neighborhood where it occurred.

KuiTOii:—Aa these isles are more and more resorted to, for purpose* of health, recreation, sight seeing aud scientific purposes, an well as for business objects, and as inquiries fire frequently made in regard lo temperature, bealth, &c., I have thought that tbe publication of reliable data, bearing upon these points, might be of public service. I have therefore brought together, in one tnble, from the first and second volumes nl' the Hawaiian Spectator, the meteorological observations of tbe late T C. B. Rooke, M. D., covering a period of two years in succession, one of them unusually dry and tho other unusually wet. But the two will doubtless give a fair sample of the average climatic condition of the locality where the observations wero made. Tbe islands have a great variety of climate depending upon the Altitude and locality, but mild ami salubrious in all habitable places. The windward sides of the islands being wet, and the leeward sides dry. These observations were made in Honolulu, in latitude 21° 18' iiortli, and longitude 158" V west, lyiug on the leeward or southwest side of Oahu, and is one of tbe warmest and dryest localities in the group. I should odd that tbe post winter has been colder lliiui any one I have experienced in a resideuce of thirty-eight years in Honolulu, the thermometer several times fulling to 56° nt C o'clock A. M., nnd to 52" on the oth of January, in a northerly exposure; whilst at the transit of Venus station near tbe seaside th« mercury marked 50" 5' at (I o'clock A.

These diamond ornaments, which consist of a necklace and a pair of ear-drops, are the most valuable gifts which any Egyptian has made as a mark of personal regard since Cleopatra dissolved her pearl in vinegar and drank it as a "health" to Mark Antony. The present was received at the customhouse last week, where it had to be detained until Congress could pass an act authorizing it to be delivered free of duty. The experts of the custom-house appraisers' department estimated its wholesale value in gold at $280,000, and nt this valuation the duty upon it would be $70,000, or very nearly $80,000 in currency.

We traveled till winter set in, and then settled down in this beautiful city set upon a hillside and fair to behold. It has many modern and ancient features of interest.

Then the quaint old " Holy Rood Palace " and its old Chapel and Abbey Kuins. Then there are— Calton Hill, with its several elegant national monuments; Arthur's Seat and Salsbury Crags; the Roaming and Resting Range of Sir Walter Scott; the Lonely Ruins of St. Antony, the Hermit Monk. Among the things not to be forgotten, is that queer old house where " Dr. Johnson " put up, on his first arrival in Edinburgh, 1773. Its present odd occupants, and its past history, formed a peculiar commingling in one's mind. Then the dear old " St. Giles Church," founded in 1401.

" Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be lon;,' upon the land which the Lord thy (iod giveth thee." There is a state of morals on the Sandwich Islands which needs a thorough discussion in the public newspapers; but it is |our opinion that this discussion should be differently carried forward in the foreign newspapers from what it should be in those papers published in the Hawaiian language. The two classes of readers essentially differ in their modes of thought and methods of illustration. We would not be understood as asserting, that the principles of morality and virtue differ when applied to the two races. "We are all of one blood," and accountable to the same God. Morally one class may be no better than the other, but Hawaiians do speak of things in common language which are essentially ignored by AngloSaxons. Now, let this discussion be carried forward according to the mental training of each class. In former times we think many articles have been published in foreign newspapers which ought never to have appeared. In consequence of their publication, an entirely erroneous impression has gone abroad, respecting both the foreign and native community. We hear rumors of a re-opening of the discussion of certain subjects, hence, we sincerely hope it may be confined to the native papers. In justification of our position, we would remark that native preachers and missionaries may and do employ (and very properly) illustrations which would not be tolerated in the sermons of preachers in In the recently published volume of the Rev. W. M. Taylor, of the Tabernacle Church, N. V., upon the life and character of " David, King of Israel," we find an interesting and touching allusion to David's kindness to his parents; and we quote the following, inasmuch as it may convey a useful hint to some young man, away from home : Behold in David's tender provision for his parents an example of the care which we ought to have tor father and mother. There are few things more delightful than to see a son or daughter lovingly supporting an aged parent; and, on the other hand, there is nothing more worthy of our scorn and reprobation than the conduct of those who leave their parents to the cold charity of an unfeeling world. Nor is it only in the matter of support that we should show our regard to our parents. We should reverence them when we English. are beside them, and when we go to a distThe annual meeting of the Y.

Some days since, standing with a group of Chinamen, before a large engraving, representing Bunyan's Pilgrim, on his journey from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City," and thinking they might possibly be made to understand the meaning or design of the picture if it should be explained in the Hawaiian language, we requested a person versed in that language to act the part of interpreter." To the surprise of all, one"of our Chinese friends, remarked : " I have read the book in the Chinese language;" adding, "you see, when the Pilgrim, with the burden on his back, approached the ;ross, the burden fell off and rolled into the sepulchre." While all present were somewhat surprised at this intelligent and discriminating remark, another of our Chinese friends present, added—" But I have read the book in English." This pleasant little incident occurred at a gathering of thirty or more Chinamen, who were present at the marriage of one of their countrymen, who has thoroughly renounced the doctrines of Confucius and become a follower of Him who was present with His mother at the marriage, in Cana of Uallilee. Perhaps some of our readers will now learn for the first time that Bunyan's Pilgrim has acquired the language of the "Middle Kingdom," on his pathway to the " Celestial City." We hope this incident may encourage those who are teaching in the Chinese Sabbath School, and in other ways, are endeavoring to impart a Christian education to the Chinamen with whom they are acquainted. We would merely add that the one referred to as having read Pilgrims' Progress in Chinese," is a member of Fort Street Church, and the other of the Bethel. " Cast thy bread upon the waters and thou shalt find it after many days." " Correspondence, in reference to a Chinese colporteur, is still in favorable progress, and it is confidently hoped in our next issue we shall be nble to report that all the necessary arrangements are completed. Compulsory Physical Exercises in School.—President Elitt, of Harvard, says of compulsory physical exercises in schools : They should form a part of the programme of every school for boys, and should be insisted upon just as regularly as Latin and mathematics from the time a boy is ten years old until he is sixteen or seventeen. Most American schools entirely neglect this very important part of their proper function. Many young men, therefore, come to the university with undeveloped muscles, a bad carriage and an impaired digestion, without skill in out-of-door games, and unable to He, row, swim, or shoot. It is important that the university should give opportunity for a variety of physical exercises ; because this student prefers one form and that another, and an exercise which is enjoyed will be ten times as useful as one which ia repulsive.—N.
